Ask HN: What is your go-to prompt to prove AI can be wrong?
Just over-heard one of our seniors trying to explain to a new intern that AI can actually be wrong, no matter how much its answers sound very eloquent and well-structured.
I was wondering what question/prompt everyone uses to prove so to others.
I assume it depends on each person's expertise, or some people ask about a fact that is well-known as having been a victim of the mandela effect.
P.S.
As a non-native speaker, I was about to pass my submission through AI to improve text clarity and understandability, but after remembering some comments about prefering the original text, I decided against it :)
- saidnooneever 3mo agoi think the proof is in understanding how LLMs work, not a certain prompt. this because output isnt determenistic and hence a single prompt couldnt (theoretically) reliably prove anything. thats the exactly problem :')
- haute_cuisine 3mo agoI'm curious, why exactly output is non-deterministic? Static weights + matrix multiplication should always return the same output, right?
- mejutoco 3mo agoNo, even with the same temperature.
- al_borland 3mo agoAsk an AI anything you have even a remotely decent understanding of and it becomes pretty obvious that they are often wrong. I run into this on a daily basis for questions spanning multiple topics. It worries me that interns are needing to have this proven to them.
